hi everyone
i plan to be buying a surround sound system during xmas sales or just after xmas as prices will go down.hoping to spend up to $1000.want at least 5.1 channel surround sound.gonna be connecting it to a sony ex520 tv aswell.i want loud clear sound with plenty of bass and i dont want something that will distort if i turn it loud.all suggestions are welcome.

i have the big screen tv,a ps3 and 5.1 channel surround sound.car still runs smooth and computer still works but its a bit outdated.

A lot of the quality of your sound system will depend on the speaker system that you use.There are a lot of stores that you can go to and listen to the different systems to see which one you like best.Most stores that sell car stereos have a setup where you can try different combinations of speakers with the stereo systems.Good luck with your shopping for your new surround sound.

just an update.got a onkyo 5.1 channel reciever,which puts out 140 watts per channel.also got speakers off ebay they will be here monday morning.the speakers i got are accusound reference 6.6 link

hope to have it all set up by monday afternoon.the set up looks pretty straight forward.I have all the cables and wires i need but im probably gonna get a hdmi cable during the week for audio return instead of digital optical output.dont really need advice now but i might update and let you guys know how it sounds once its set up.

Don't crank it up to loud you just might break some of the windows in the house.
